I stumbled upon a backdoor trojan of some sort and I feel as if it has extremely bad intentions.
I ran a couple of scans and sure enough, I’d been getting tons of different malware possibily from some trojan downloaders.
log1 = MBAM
log2 = the avast scanner.
Thanks in advance!
well you had a PUP city in there… since you had all this crap, i suggest you clean your browsers with AdwCleaner and attach log
AdwCleaner http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/
removal team is notified, check back tomorrow…
Thanks for the reply!
I’ve done as instructed and got rid of the popup shit. Should be okay now?
On a side note, though. Do you know the magnitude of the trojan I have? Can I still use my PC given that these types of programs tend to go after your personal information? I am just asking because right now, just to be safe, I keep the PC shut off. So every time I scan anything and reply here I have to reboot.
Should be okay now?you find out when a log experts have checked FRST diagnostic logs....
Post a fresh FRST scan log and from a clean PC change all your login information.
There you go :).
If it’s an actual RAT (Remote Access Trojan). They will be on of the most difficult trojans to remove.
When Valinorum is DONE helping you. I would recommend installing Unchecky…
http://unchecky.com/
Only when he’s done though
Well granted that my mouse started to move all of a sudden and something else was trying to find specific files on my PC i’d say it’s a pretty decent chance of it being a RAT.
Although to be fair, after having done the prerequisites for requesting help on these forums, I haven’t seen any signs of the trojan acting up.
Edit: I’m going to check out Unchecky and probably get myself AdBlock aswell.
Hi p1thy233, 
My name is Valinorum and I will be the acolyte today. Before we proceed, please, acknowledge yourself the following(s):
Step #1 P2P Warning
**IMPORTANT I notice there are signs of one or more P2P (Person to Person) File Sharing Programs on your computer.
[li]µTorrent
I shall provide you with a few reference links, please read them up to know the risks of having a P2P program.
- [url=http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt128.shtm][b]P2P File-Sharing: Evaluate the Risks[/b][/url]
- [url=http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/itsc/about/p2p-risk.html][b]ITSC: Risks in Peer-to-peer File Sharing[/b][/url]
Note: Even if you are using a “safe” P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P file-sharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.
My recommendation is that you uninstall the programs listed above. If you choose not to remove them, please do not use them until this computer is clean.[/li]

There they are. Total scan time for Eset about 2 and a half hours. :S
How is your PC?
It feels a lot better than before. Runs a tad faster and I haven’t had the encounter where something else is controlling my computer.
Regarding the ESET scan though, do I delete the threats? I still have the aftermath of the scan open - I didn’t feel secure enough to delete the threats without supervision.
ESET already deleted the threats.
Perusing your logs, I see no infection currently present in your system. Unless you are having any issue(s), the machine appears to be Malware-free as we speak.
Despite the tools we have used are clean, they are powerful removal tools and made in a way so that they carry out any commands given to them without (most cases) asking for a confirmation. In the hands of an inept person, they can make the machine un-bootable – a scenario we do not wish to see. Also, we need to remove the quarantined files/folders from your system as a dormant malware can be as bad as an active one if given the proper environment. I shall now give you the guidelines to remove the tools and the quarantined files from your system.
Cleanup with Delfix
Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.

Prevention is better than cure – goes the old saying. As much as we love to see you visit our site, we do not want to see you having your PC infected by malwares again.
A great way to do this is to install the Filehippo Update Checker and run it regularly. Also, try not to ignore any notifications you receive regarding updates to programs already installed on your PC.
No scripts is an excellent security device too. I like it but it is not for everyone because it requires you to take action if you want to see some things (pop ups, banners etc.) on sites you visit.
Download NoSript by Giorgio Maone.
Note: Sometimes you will get a site telling you that you need to install Java when actually all you need to do is enable the site through the no script icon down on the right hand side of your computer.
- [b]Watch out for new threat named CryptoLocker[/b]
CryptoLocker is a new type ransomware family malware that encrypts your important files and asks for a ransom to decrypt them. At the moment of posting this reply there are no tools that can undo the havoc this malware causes. We can help you to remove the malware from your system but the files that was encrypted cannot be recovered without the decryption key. So, I ask for your forbearance and practice constant vigilance. Please read the following article to acknowledge yourself about the safety measures.
How to prevent your computer from becoming infected by CryptoLocker.
- [b]And last of all, surf smart.[/b]
It doesn’t matter how well the autopilot system works if the pilot keeps flying the plane into mountain ranges. Don’t forget that no matter how much you have protecting yourself, your security ultimately begins and ends with you. Don’t visit dangerous or questionable web sites, avoid suspicious links on Facebook and emails/email attachments you’re unsure about, and just generally keep your wits about you, and you’ll be much safer. Also, avoid illegal downloads, cracks, “warez”, and all other too-good-to-be-true internet offerings: they’re typically laden with malware. Be smart and you can avoid most threats lurking about the darker corners of the internet! And for even more tips, see our article, How Did I Get Infected in the First Place?
